The initial g stands for Geographic, as gdnsd offers a plugin system for
geographic (or other sorts of) balancing, redirection, and service-state-conscious
failover. If you don't care about that feature, it's still quite good at being
a very fast, lean, and resilient authoritative-only server for static DNS data.
gdnsd is written in C using libev and pthreads with a focus on highi performance,
low latency service. It does not offer any form of caching or recursive service,
and does not support DNSSEC.

The Net::DNS::Zone::Parser should be considered a preprocessor that "normalizes"
a zonefile.
It will read a zonefile in a format conforming to the relevant RFCs with the
addition of BIND's GENERATE directive from disk and will write fully specified
resource records (RRs) to a filehandle. Whereby:
- All comments are stripped
- There is one RR per line
- Each RR is fully expanded i.e. all domain names are fully qualified
(canonicalised) and the CLASS and TTLs are specified.
- Some RRs may be 'stripped' from the source or otherwise processed. For details
see the 'read' method.
Note that this module does not have a notion of what constitutes a valid zone,
it only parses. For example, the parser will happilly parse RRs with ownernames
that are below in another zone because a NS RR elsewhere in the zone.

Mozilla::PublicSuffix provides a single function that returns the public suffix
of a domain name by referencing a parsed copy of Mozilla's Public Suffix List.
From the official website at http://publicsuffix.org:
A "public suffix" is one under which Internet users can directly register names.
Some examples of public suffixes are .com, .co.uk and pvt.k12.wy.us. The Public
Suffix List is a list of all known public suffixes.
A copy of the official list is bundled with the distribution. As the official
list continues to be updated, the bundled copy will inevitably fall out of date.
Therefore, if the bundled copy of found to be over thirty days old, this
distribution's installer provides the option to check for a new version of the
list and download/use it if one is found.

Easyzone is a package to manage the common record types of a zone file,

The Public Suffix Service is an initiative of the Mozilla Project, but is

A "public suffix" is one under which Internet users can directly register names.

with DNS64. Once 9.8.0 is released officially the -devel tag will be
removed.
BIND version 9 is a major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying BIND
architecture. Some of the important features of BIND 9 are:
DNS Security: DNSSEC (signed zones), TSIG (signed DNS requests)
IP version 6: Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets, IPv6 resource records (AAAA)
Experimental IPv6 Resolver Library
DNS Protocol Enhancements: IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0
Improved standards conformance
Views: One server process can provide multiple "views" of the DNS namespace,
e.g. an "inside" view to certain clients, and an "outside" view to others.
Multiprocessor Support
BIND 9.8 includes a number of changes from BIND 9.7 and earlier releases,
including:
Preliminary DNS64 support (AAAA synthesis only initially)
See the CHANGES file for more information on features.

asynchronously. It is an asynchronous wrapper around getaddrinfo(3),
getnameinfo(3), res_query(3) and res_search(3) from libc and libresolv.
In contrast to GNU's asynchronous name resolving API getaddrinfo_a(),
libasyncns does not make use of UNIX signals for reporting completion of name
queries. Instead, the API exports a standard UNIX file descriptor which may be
integerated cleanly into custom main loops.
In contrast to asynchronous DNS resolving libraries like libdenise, skadns,
adns, libasyncns is just an asynchronous wrapper around the libc's synchronous
getaddrinfo() API, which has the advantage of allowing name resolution using
techniques like Multicast DNS, LDAP or NIS using standard libc NSS (Name
Service Switch) modules. libasyncns is compatible with IPv6 if the underlying
libc is.
libasyncns is very tiny, consisting of just one header and one source file. It
has no dependencies besides libc.

start testing it sooner rather than later. When the final version
is released the -devel will be removed.
Some of the new features of BIND 9.7.x are:
- Fully automatic signing of zones by "named"
- Simplified configuration of DNSSEC Lookaside Validation (DLV)
- Simplified configuration of Dynamic DNS, using the "ddns-confgen"
command line tool or the "local" update-policy option
- New named option "attach-cache" that allows multiple views to
share a single cache
- DNS rebinding attack prevention
- New default values for dnssec-keygen parameters
- Support for RFC 5011 automated trust anchor maintenance
(see README.rfc5011 for additional details)
- Smart signing: simplified tools for zone signing and key
maintenance
- Improved PKCS#11 support
complete DNS client implementation, including full DNSSEC
support.

BIND 9.6.0. Originally from older versions of BIND, they have been
continually maintained and improved but not installed by default with
BIND 9. This standard resolver library contains the same historical
functions and headers included with many Unix operating systems.
In fact, most implementations are based on the same original code.
ISC's libbind provides the standard resolver library, along with header
files and documentation, for communicating with domain name servers,
retrieving network host entries from /etc/hosts or via DNS, converting
CIDR network addresses, performing Hesiod information lookups, retrieving
network entries from /etc/networks, implementing TSIG transaction/request
security of DNS messages, performing name-to-address and address-to-name
translations, and utilizing /etc/resolv.conf for resolver configuration.
